Kate Gattey

I am an artist working and living in the Pacific North-West. I started creating at a young age through the support of my Mother. Interested in many areas of art, I later studied fine arts. From photography to ceramics, but landing in a mash-up of illustration and painting.
My work widely varies but is rooted in colorful play to illustrate feelings and relationships that are not always seen. Much of y work reflects interests in color meaning to describe the personality of animals and the feelings of people. I try to illustrate the relationships women have with their children and children's perception of their surroundings through imaginary play. I prefer to isolate subjects with disregard for surroundings, with a foreground focus.
